Graduate students concentrating in atmospheric sciences will have access to all the resources that are available to undergraduate students in Meteorology and Earth Science. The Weather Center, an institute within the university, provides professional weather forecasts to local businesses and newspapers, including United Illuminating and the New Haven Register. The Broadcast Room is designed to train students to become television meteorologists.

WCSU also has the benefit of its own astronomical observatory, containing a 20-inch (0.51 m) telescope and a planetarium. The telescope is dedicated to research by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as occasional public viewings. Students and faculty can also observe with a 31-inch (0.79 m) telescope at the National Undergraduate Research Observatory
